Selected Poetry. LONG YEARS AGO. You call me charged, and wonder that my sinile Is cold, my greeting colder still, You do not know trat all the while i My spirit bids my surging heart be sti ‘Ms thus we meet! whose ial. vat stirred With love at every whispered word.
}
But that was years, long years age, And now our paths lie far apart; We did not dream it would be so When spirit spoke to spirit, heart to heart! Between us lie the dreary, wasted years, No sighs will bring them back, nor bitter tears, The memory of thy love so deep and strong Comes tome sweeter than the summer rain: You charged, nor wished to do me wrong, You left ine powerless to love again. Dreamed Lonce no power our love could sever— Alas, there is uo love that lasts forever. Long years ago I loved, yet veil I now My heart befure your cruel, searching gaze. And looking on my calm, unruftled brow You caunot think I dream of other days. 1 will not let you know my passionate regret And that I mourn that you can thus forget. Ab, well, it has been ever sadly sung | Woman’s love is greater far than mans can be; j though my quivering heart-strings have been wrung In knowing thou art changed so greatly unto me, I still can waste my passionate love on taee. Long years ago i vowed thy save to be. —CONSTANCE STERLING.

And
THE TURCO-RUSSIAN WAR. (From the Danbury News.)
The Turco-Russian war is not a popular topic of conversation. Beyond vague ref- erences to the Russians and the Turks noth- ing is said. When the names of cormmand- ers, important points, and battlefields are approaches, the parties simultaieously and unanimously wilt and back swiftly down. When a man is out for the evening and desires to make a tavorable impression upou the company, he will lose color and self possession if the war Is mentioned. Consequently what information is made known is dispensed almost entirely by the papers. ‘Things which cannot be spoken can be printed. No wan attempts to read the war news to another. He says he hasn’t the time and that the other woud get amuch clearer idea of it by reading it himself, which is uudoubtedly true. As large and 2s bright and as intellectual as is Danbury there 1s only one man here who dares tackle the subject, Nothing that the contending forces have so far developed makes him quail. He is a type setter, and is keeping company with a young lady who js the sole hope of her parents, and appears to be the sole hope of our friend. Sunday night he went after her to go to chureh, she was not feeling well, so he prepared to spend the evening with her and the elderl) parents.
* Joun,” said’ the old gentleman, “ what is the war news?”\_
“Oh, yes, John,” said his wife,” * I wish you would teli us something about it. Edward don’t get the papers, and when he does the pesky names are so long and so crooked that we can’t make out anything. I wish you would tell us about it.”
The accommodating young man straight. ened up his chair as a seif-directed injunction to bracé up, and smiling agreeably upon the old couple, said:
“They ain’t got at it over there very hot just yet, but there’s going to be a lively ‘time in a few days. ‘The Russians are now trying to force their way across the Dan- ube.”
“ What's that?” asked the old lady, with lively interest.
“That's the river which cuts through Roumania. If the Russiaps. get across it theyll be slap down upon the Turks in a jiffy, anad’ll] make the stuffing fly. Genera) William Roagemoff is in charge of the Rus- sian army at this point, and Eugene Ish mail has the command of the Turks oppos ing him. Now Wiliam is mght here (indicating the spot on the tabje with bis finger) al Lavascratchi—that is, his infantry is here, At Hooperbush he has_his artil- lery, and back at ‘i’cobunkskewmichi he has cavalry.’
. “Gracious! what names!” ejaculated the astonished oly lady.
The old gentieman said nothing, but he made up his mind that John must have « tremendous inteilect to scoop in those names and hold them.
“ugene,” continued the young map, modestly, “has his army on the otier side of the river, of course. Here is his infan- try at Rustychuck, which he has covered fuily by batteries, while his other artillery is at Bazikadtoagbzar, and his cavalry is at Sorghumphobia. tle wants to keep the Russians on the other side of the river, you know, but William is too much for him.”
‘Ile is?” gasped the old gentleman.
“Yes—oh, yes,’ replied Jobp, with great contidence. ‘*Wiiliam is tony; he is right up to it every time. The first thing you kuow he’ be across that river and Eugene
will be paddiing up ont of that in no time; and before you can turn around, as you
- might, say, William will have scooped in
tlawdaji, Viuvketiville, Samaria, Schaddle- watch, Brewscoowari, Spodscuiballswall achin rbot, Schammetrhorn, aud other points equally and uniformly contiguous”
Johu paused, looked up at the Ceiling, sighed, and mournfully added— Ey°*It looks bad for Eugene.”
“{ syould say ic did,” emphatically ejacu- latéd the old gentleman.
“‘Poor man,” sighed the old lady. ‘ Has he a family ?”
**A wife and seven children,’ said John, gently.
The old lady sighed agair.
